Amendments in a residential lease agreement?

I recently entered into a residential lease agreement and have recently been asked to make some amendments to the agreement. These amendments are not clear to me and I would like to understand the implications and legalities of the changes before I sign the new agreement.

Myrna L.

Answered Sep 20, 2023

First, you do not have to agree with your landlord to change your lease agreement. Second, know why your landlord wants to change your lease agreement. Third, what rights/benefits do you give up if you agree with your landlord to change your lease agreement.

Residential Lease Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 10, 2023

Residential lease agreement for furnished units?

I recently moved into a furnished unit and signed a residential lease agreement. However, I am unsure if the agreement I signed covers any damage done to the furniture. I want to make sure that I am protected in the event of any damage to the furniture and that I am not liable for any repair or replacement costs.

Rosemary L.

Answered Sep 12, 2023

It is common in a residential leases which is furnished that the tenant is responsible for any damage to furnishings. You might want to check if this clause is in the agreement, or whether there is a provision that states that included in the cost of the tenancy is insurance to reimburse the landlord (but payable by the tenant) for any losses to such personal property. If damages are the responsibility of the tenant, you might wish to discuss with the landlord whether you could replace any claim for damages with an insurance policy that would cover such losses.

Residential Lease Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Sep 10, 2023

What is a residential lease agreement?

I am looking to move to a new apartment and need to know the details of a residential lease agreement. I am familiar with the basics of a lease, but want to make sure I understand all the details of what I am signing. I am also interested in understanding what my rights and responsibilities are as a tenant.

N'kia N.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

A residential lease agreement is sometimes referred to as a "residential rental agreement," a "rental agreement," a "residential lease," a "lease agreement," or simply a "lease." It is a legal contract between a landlord and a tenant that details the terms and conditions of the tenancy, including the rights and responsibilities of each party. Every U.S. state has laws regarding the rights and responsibilities of residential landlords and tenants. For example, North Carolina's "Residential Rental Agreement Act" can be found in Chapter 42 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Generally, a residential tenant has the right to possess (or occupy) the property, the right to quiet (or peaceful) enjoyment of the property, and the right to the property being fit and habitable. In exchange, a residential tenant is responsible for paying a rental fee (in full and when due), not damaging the property, and keeping the property safe and sanitary. However, a residential lease agreement may grant additional rights to and/or impose additional responsibilities upon a tenant, so long as neither conflict with the law. For example, a landlord might provide a tenant access to a business center, a clubhouse, or an exercise room but might charge a fee for said access. For another example, one landlord may prohibit pets, one may allow pets but charge no fee, and another may allow pets and charge a fee. Last, not everything stated in a residential lease agreement is necessarily enforceable. Having an attorney review a lease before signing it can help clarify the rights and responsibilities of the landlord and the tenant, which can also help avoid confusion and conflict later on.

Answered Mar 18, 2022

It is unclear what your exact question is. Unless illegal or unconconscionable, anything can be agreed to in a contract. Enforcing the agreement may require litigation. If you are asking if the clause is a valid one, it could be. If you are asking what to do if the landlord did not honor it, you may need to sue. If you are asking if this is standard and was not in the contract, the answer is no. You cannot assume it is. Hope this helps some. Contact me if you would like a consultation specifically on this issue.
